So, another milestone achieved .. book chapter in a Springer publication: link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…

Saman Ghodousi, Head of Public Relations at the National Iranian Oil Company and the spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum, wrote in a post on X that at present, #Iran essentially has no crude oil left afloat or any surplus to offer to other international markets. "The #US Treasury Secretary’s remarks are simply aimed at reassuring buyers and influencing market sentiment," Ghodousi added. On March 19, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the United States may soon lift sanctions on Iranian oil currently stranded aboard tankers in a move aimed at boosting global supply and lowering prices. "In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels," Bessent said during an appearance on Fox Business Network's Mornings with Maria. Bessent said the volume involved could amount to roughly 10 days to two weeks of additional supply, depending on how it is measured. "So, depending on how you count it, that's 10 days to two weeks of supply," he stressed. He added that bringing sanctioned Iranian oil into the market would help restrain prices over the next 10 to 14 days. #IranWar #WestAsia

17 year old in Spain 🇪🇸 is in intensive care with tetanus. TETANUS Because his parents didn't get him vaccinated Tetanus is deadly and horrific NO ONE should EVER get tetanus GET VACCINATED!!

For Gujrat's consultant, the dense devrai along #Pune ’s Mula River is merely a hurdle in his design for riverfront development. Pune politicians, Comissioner, City Engineer, Project Dept officials, workers, clerks in the PMC have decided to bow down to Gujrat’s HCP Consultant.

“If racism were merely hatred or disdain for a particular group, wealthy White families wouldn’t depend on Black women’s bodies for their children’s nourishment. They wouldn’t want them anywhere near their families. However, once you recognize that racism is a form of exploitation, the motives behind racist laws and policies become transparent.”

Mark Twain wrote “King Leopold’s Soliloquy” about the Belgian genocide in Congo and despite being most famous author on Earth no one would publish it, because he was talking about black lives. What a disgrace to honor a racist jerkoff in his name

So the pattern continues, another case of “religious sentiments hurt,” this time near a temple in UP. FIR and arrests follow in no time. Eating non vegetarian food is increasingly being treated like a crime, especially when linked to minorities.

Kennedy demanded to inspect Israel's Dimona reactor in 1963, threatening to cut U.S. aid to Israel He was assassinated that same year....

At least 70% of Namibia’s land is owned by people of German descent. Peter Thiel grew up in Namibia, where Black miners were forced to work without protection from radiation in uranium mines. In fact his own father built one in an effort to assist in the development of South Africa’s nuclear weapons program. This man has absolutely no problem with the possibility of returning the USA to its past, and supports it.

🚨 Corruption 🚨 🚨 Corruption 🚨 🚨 Corruption 🚨 Do you guys remember Trevor Milton? The CEO of a truck manufacturing company that was supposed to make the first fully electric semi-truck? He built what was supposed to be a functional prototype but instead shared a video of the non-working prototype, which was simply rolled downhill by gravity after being towed uphill—with the camera angle hiding the slope to fake motion. He collected hundreds of millions in investments, which were subsequently worthless to working-class investors. He was, of course, indicted and convicted. He was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay restitution in the hundreds of millions of dollars… …until Donald Trump pardoned him. But why did Trump pardon a known scam artist? It could be because of his multimillion-dollar donations to the Trump campaign, or maybe the fact that he hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his attorney. Now, not only did he serve very little (if any) jail time, but he also doesn’t have to pay back the money he scammed. ALSO, he just launched a new startup—with no working product—again.

Without planning it this way, our Eid dinner ended up happening at a successful popular Arab restaurant in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. I wished Nabil Happy Eid. He was clearly touched, chatted a bit. He has his story printed out in Hindi too, which he gave me. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam!

Vietnam began when roughly 3,500 Marines arrived to secure the Da Nang Airbase. Their mission was sold to the public as only defensive, intended to protect the U.S. airbase to free up South Vietnamese troops for combat, though this quickly shifted to offensive action. President Johnson authorized a change in mission that allowed Marines to engage in active combat rather than just static security.

In less than 3 weeks, Israel killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon. These are some of their names.

HUGE: The US is demanding trillions in "war ransom" from its Persian Gulf Arab allies. Trump demands the GCC cough up $5 trillion for him to continue the war on Iran, and $2.5 trillion if they want him to stop. thecradle.co/articles-id/36…

"Australia's largest ammonia plant will be shut for two months to repair damage caused by a power outage, amidst a global supply crunch for the vital fertiliser and explosives ingredient." We have a problem. boilingcold.com.au/glitch-shuts-a…

Pune: Over 500 Kalyani Nagar Residents Protest Against Growing Commercial Establishments In Residential Area  @PMCPune @navalMH mypunepulse.com/pune-over-500-…

WHO IS KILLING THEM?

Because if they do DNA tests there's going to be a whole bunch of men with families who'll have to explain why there's babies being born to teenagers in for-profit concentration camps, and why the government is trafficking the girls to anti-abortion states and islands.

PMC hearing on tree felling for River Front Destruction to more than 1000 objections in 20X20 hall, no windows, no enough chairs, seniors are standing & suffocating. PMC officials don't even know the no. of objections received. Shame to PMC. @navalMH @AUThackeray @suchetadalal

• be Torakusu Yamaha • the son of a low-ranking samurai astronomer in 19th-century Japan • obsessed with Western machines, you make a living repairing watches and medical equipment • 1887: a local elementary school has a broken American reed organ. Nobody in the small town knows how to fix it. • you take it apart, realize it’s just two broken springs, and easily repair it • but instead of just handing it back, you realize: "If I can fix this, I can build it." • you draw a blueprint of the inside of the organ and build the very first Japanese-made reed organ from scratch • you show it off. People tell you it sounds terrible. • most people would quit. You sling the heavy wooden organ over your shoulder on a bamboo carrying pole. • you physically carry it 160 miles (250 km) on foot, trekking over the brutal Hakone mountains just to reach the Tokyo Music Institute to get real feedback from experts • the professors play it. They tell you the mechanics are brilliant, but the tuning is completely wrong. • you don't get defensive. You stay in Tokyo for a month, sitting in on university music theory lectures, holding a single tuning fork to your ear until you completely master the mathematics of sound frequencies • you walk 160 miles back home • you build a second organ. The professors test it and declare it "as good as those from abroad." • you found Nippon Gakki Co. (which later becomes Yamaha Corporation) • you decide to make your company logo three interlocking tuning forks to remember the pain and discipline of learning music theory from scratch • decades later, your company uses its piano woodworking expertise to build wooden airplane propellers in WWII • after the war, the company uses its new metallurgical expertise from the airplane engines to build motorcycles • you accidentally create a timeline where repairing a broken elementary school organ directly leads to the creation of the Yamaha YZF-R1 superbike • absolute, relentless horizontal integration based purely on figuring out how things work The ultimate testament to reverse-engineering reality.
